Mayan-Style Pit Pork (Cochinita Pibil) Recipe

kept byDAPHNE
recipe byChow
Notes: 

Tender chunks of flavorful pork just begging to be bathed in salsa, topped with our Pickled Red Onions, and wrapped in warm corn tortillas. The hardest part of this dish is buying the ingredients!

What to buy: Achiote paste and banana leaves can be found in most Latino grocery stores. Banana leaves are often kept in the frozen-foods section.

If you can’t find sour oranges, use a mixture of 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 grapefruit juice.

Game plan: Be sure to start making this a day before you want to serve it, as it needs 12 to 24 hours to marinate.
